Deep groove ball bearings (DGBB) are the most versatile and widely used bearing type globally. Their deep raceway grooves enable them to carry both radial and axial loads in both directions at high speeds with low friction. Aarya Sales supplies DGBB in bore sizes 3 mm to 340 mm in open, single-shield (Z), double-shield (ZZ), single-seal (RS), double-seal (2RS), and snap-ring groove variants.
Applications: electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, fans, household appliances, machine tools, and automotive systems. ISO series: 60000, 62000, 63000, 160000, 620000. Clearances: C2 (tight), CN (normal), C3, C4 (wide) for high-temperature and vibration applications. ABEC 1 to ABEC 7 precision classes stocked.
Frequently Asked Questions
A deep groove ball bearing (DGBB) has deep, uninterrupted raceways in both inner and outer rings, enabling it to handle radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. The simple design, low friction, and high-speed capability make it the most widely used bearing type in industry and machinery.
Open bearings have no shields or seals — lubricated externally and relubricated periodically. ZZ (metal shield) protects against dust and splash but allows some lubricant replenishment. 2RS (rubber contact seal) provides the best dirt and moisture exclusion — pre-greased and sealed for life. 2RS is preferred for sealed-for-life applications; ZZ for high-speed and moderate contamination.
We stock DGBB from 3 mm to 340 mm bore in ISO 60000 (light), 62000 (medium), 63000 (heavy), 160000 (thin section), and 620000 (extra small) series. Custom sizes and flanged variants available on request.
C2 (tighter than normal) for precision, interference-fit applications. CN (normal clearance) for standard conditions. C3 (greater than normal) for hot or vibrating environments (electric motors, kiln applications). C4/C5 for extreme temperature or heavy vibration service.
ABEC 1/ISO P0 is standard for most industrial applications. ABEC 3/P6 for machine tools and precision equipment. ABEC 5/P5 for high-speed spindles and precision instruments. ABEC 7/P4 and P2 for ultra-precision grinding spindles.
